Activities Objectives and Key Results – EnterpriseKC Will…
• Determine the cluster-specific infrastructure needed for accelerated growth. • Evaluate existing tools for extensibility within the cluster. • Inventory existing assets by cluster and perform gap analysis. • Inventory capital sources by focus and stage invested. • Identify gaps and recommend new funding programs to accelerate cluster growth. • Develop a prospectus with an ROI for each of the key strategies and programs that require funding.
7.1.8 Pillar 8: Data Intelligence & Analytics
Strategic Goal: Map all enterprise, business, government, academic, and innovation assets into the EKC DataSphere to serve as a single source of truth supporting strategy and cluster-level decision support and measure and report results against objectives and return on investment. Strategic questions to answer: Will regional enterprises, gazelles and start-ups contribute anonymized revenue, workforce demand and other important data so we can answer questions such as, how many software engineers do we need in the next 5 years? Across clusters? How do we present the dimensions of the potential economic impact of these clusters?
Activities Objectives and Key Results – EnterpriseKC Will…
• Measure the Regional Gross Enterprise Product (RGEP) twice each year. • Measure the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Shift Share for each cluster, twice each year. • Measure the Regional Enterprise Employment Index (REEI) twice each year. • Analyze and publish the trends, variance, and cluster key performance indicators in the bi-annual Cluster Segment Analysis . • Measure the open jobs by role and by cluster and develop a common framework for the knowledge, skills, and abilities of each role.
7.1.9 Governance
As part of EnterpriseKC’s business-led, highly scalable approach, the top of the Cylinder also represents an operating structure based on human intelligence and dynamic governance and designed to deliver measurable and repeatable results – a Cluster Brain Trust (CBT) and a Governance & Thinking Task Force (TTF). In a modern operating system, the operating system kernel has multiple “schedulers” each responsible for orchestrating the deployment, scaling, coordination, and health monitoring of workloads and resources. In EKC’s Operating System, the CBT acts as a scheduler to optimize each cluster and the TTF performs a similar function but across all of EnterpriseKC operations.
Cluster Brain Trust
A CBT is a group of high-performing enterprise leaders who have a passion and the expertise to maximize the development of their cluster. They act as domain-specific orchestrators embedded within each cluster execution environment. In plain terms, the CBT is the leadership group for a given cluster that decides what work gets prioritized, how resources are allocated, and when initiatives are deployed — ensuring the cluster operates at peak performance.
